Behind the Scenes Video -- The Road to New York

Performances of The Orphans' Home Cycle, Part 1: The Story of Childhood began last week at Signature Theatre Company, but that hasn't stopped Bryce Pinkham from continuing to bring you a behind the scenes look at the world premiere of Horton Foote's trilogy! Check out the video below for footage of the cast and crew preparing for the first preview at Hartford Stage back in September, as well as celebrating their accomplishment after the show. And stay tuned for even more glimpses at what the backstage happenings of this massive theatrical event!

Video Interviews with Bill Heck, Maggie Lacey and Hallie Foote

Portraying characters in The Orphans' Home Cycle based on playwright Horton Foote's parents is no easy feat -- just ask actors Bill Heck and Maggie Lacey! Lacey is playing a part originated on stage and film by Hallie Foote, Horton's daughter, who herself is playing a character inspired by her own grandmother. What a complicated family tree!

Check out actors Bill Heck, Maggie Lacey and Hallie Foote talking about Horton and the mammoth Orphans' Home Cycle.

Behind the Scenes Video -- Welcome to Tech...

As if Bryce Pinkham isn't busy enough acting onstage in the three-part The Orphans' Home Cycle, as well as writing the Actor's Diary for the Signature blog, he's also been capturing and editing backstage footage of the show. (If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out his first video in the series, One Week Until Tech.)

Below is Bryce's latest video in the series, documenting the always exciting (and sometimes chaotic) tech week experience. Watching this video you'll get a good idea of the sheer magnitude of the production -- there's a whole lot of people working on bringing this thing to life!

Enjoy the video!
